 - OWIE schema 2.0 stores one vector per chunk and declares the embedding model in `schema_metadata`.
 - Exact cosine search over the current French slice is fast enough once the vectors are memory-mapped locally.
-- The full HTTP test extra currently hangs in Starlette's TestClient before the

-  routes.
+- Starlette's `TestClient` must run outside the restricted thread/network

 - The pre-semantic OWILIX tree was validated independently on Python 3.12.3:
-  796 tests passed and 2 were skipped outside the sandbox-blocked HTTP suite.

 **Breaking Changes**: Python 3.11 is no longer supported.
